The Hippie Guitary player wearing top hat is LEON RUSSELL. The genius behind it all. WROTE songs like "Superstart" and "This Masquerade" among others.....he MADE Joe with this tour.
The guitar player with the top hat is Leon Russell and one of the female backup singers is Rita Coolidge. Leon co-wrote and Rita was the first to record your favorite Carpenters song, "Superstar" How's that for some trivia?
Jim Gordon on drums. A legend who played sessions (including Steely Dan) and live with the likes of Derek and the Dominoes, Delany and Bonnie, etc. etc. until mental illness took over and ... well, it's a sad, sad story.
I just also want to say that watching your channel , your reactions makes me feel great inside , like you angel face , beautiful smile and positive vibrations are a pleasure to watch. thanks for the entertainment and great songs Morenikeji !
Your eyes and smile are so joyful,they just light up the screen,all of your reactions are so heartfelt.I don't know how old you are but you are an old soul.
Glad you like him, I was so lucky to see him in concert in the early 70's, in the San Francisco Bay area and it was as wild as you can imagine. The 70's where the best for music. And I must confess you are beautiful.
Joe Cocker was an experience in himself. Unique. I'm old enough to have seen him in Woodstock and he mesmerized half a million people. It's that one experience in my life that I go to when life in this world gets too much. Something not too many know is that Joe would refuse to sing at any segregated venues.
That’s what music was all about then. Nothing compares or even comes close to this era of music. I’m homered to have had experience this. Ze Mad Dog, Ze Englishman, Ze Joe Cocker.
This is from "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" , Fillmore East 1970, a concert film/record he did with the legendary pianist/arranger/songwriter Leon Russell (The guy with the top hat). Russell put the whole show together, bringing fellow friends and great musicians together. You should watch from the same concert Joe Cocker performing "The letter", and another Beatles cover "Something" which both are really impressive and emotional.
That man with the hat is Leon Russell. The 1960's music revolution would not have happened without Leon Russell. You are seeing the musical genius of a lot of people here. The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney from The Beatles. Leon Russel was the band leader and he put this entire band together made up of some of the best session players in the world with very little time to do it.
Another great cover by Joe is "The Letter". It is from the Box Tops back in 1967. Joe's version is from around 1970 I think. Both are worth a listen even if you don't post a reaction.
One of my all-time favourite artists. I was 14 years old when I first heard this cover and it shaped my musical tastes forever. I love his cover of "Put your hat on". The thing that I liked the most is your reaction and appreciation for the music of my generation. Stay healthy and keep up your videos. You made me happy today. Thank you.
Love your joy of music :) Hard to believe I could actually like a Beatles song done by another, better! This was an awesome video. Joe Cocker was one of a kind.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge & Claudia Linnear on background vocals. You don't get much better than that. Joe Cocker had so many good songs in the course of his career.
This was an anthem of a generation. Joe Cocker, Leon Russel and a whole bunch of famous musicians got together to form this "mad dogs and englishman" concert/movie. That was the best cover of any song ever ... yes it finishes with 2 drum kits and back up singers doing their thing :):)
Saw Joe as a teenager in 1975, I think. Sat in the second row. I remember thinking "Wow! We'll be close enough for Joe to spit on us!" You know, from his singing. Great show! Great reaction! Thanks
If musical autism exists I'm sure Joe Cocker has it, he puts his whole body into the song like some sort of saintly singing savant leaving the audience with no other option but to be in awe. Loved the reaction :)
It's so heartwarming to see a young person discover such an important part of our shared heritage. Please keep it alive because these artists and the fans that loved them won't last forever but their music must.
Hi There Sweetie. God, you were so much fun to watch this piece of music with! Thank You for that, it was wonderful. Whenever Joe Cocker performed, he always shared his Soul with the listeners as he Always gave 100% of himself as well. I was just thinking back to the time that I heard all of these songs, when they were all brand new. The 60's & 70's were a magic time for music abd I'll be the first to admit that we were absolutely Spoiled, Musically back then. Back when Musicians Wrote their own Music, Played an instrument and Sang all at the same time even! No Auto-Tune, no Drum Machines, no taking portions of other Artists music to incorporate into some bastardized piece of crap and call it their own either. Amazing, right? Analogue over Digital, every time! Can I get an Amen?
I think you would also love his Woodstock performance, maybe more. The studio version is fabulous of course. BTW, your beauty is amazing, inside and out.
And I get HIGH with a little help from my "long distance" friends right here on UA-cam, listening to and watching these great musical songs and performances, and the genuine, heartfelt reactions from intelligent and sensitive people like you, Morenikeji ! You caught the emotional greatness of Joe Cocker and his rendition of this Beatles classic right from the start!
My Brother Sat Me Down As A Small Boy And Said "Watch This'..Joe Cocker Live At Woodstock.!!..OMG..I Couldn't Believe It.. Just Like You.. Amazing Reaction 🇬🇧
Throughout Joes career, doing this song with different backups and musicians actually changed the dynamics of the sound of the song, particularly as he got much older. Joe was known to love his Beer, and consequently took a toll as time went on. His best and most coherent voice was Late 60;s to late 80;s However with "A little help from his friends," still made fantastic music. May his soul soar far and wide ! RIP Joe.
What a legend, one of a kind , just unbelievable brilliant RIP Joe. Always love your reaction, but your reaction to this was just fantastic the joy on your beautiful face was just beautiful to watch well done baby girl . I going to watch it again
Another awesome reaction my favourite Baby Girl! 👏 💖 👏 And a great choice of song. Joe Cocker is amazing, how he puts every ounce of his heart and soul into his performances. There is a famous video of him doing this song at the Woodstock Concert, but i prefer this version as you get to see more of the band (who were also fantastic). So thank you so much for introducing this to me, as i had never seen it before. Your sheer joy at reacting to all of this music, is what makes your videos so special! 😘😘 I loved it when you saw the two backing singers holding hands and you copied the movement yourself... ❤️️ I hope all is well with you - it seems to be, as you are looking wonderful! Take care and much love 😘🤗😘🤗
I was 18 and a friend and I walked two miles to see an R rated movie. It was changed and the movie "joe cocker mad dogs and Englishmen" was playing instead (this is from that movie and album). First impression was that he was a freak. Walked out a huge fan. Much better than whatever movie I missed
Joe Cocker is just amazing, he has such a powerful voice, he putts so much passion in his songs and shows his a awesome personality. The concert's are a real highlight. Lady, your smile is so awesome too.
Joe Cocker put his whole body into every note. Nobody like him may he rest in peace. I see you already reacted to "You Are So Beautiful." Other great songs of his: "Feelin' Alright" and his duet with Jennifer Warnes "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong" (theme song from the early 1980s movie "An Officer and a Gentleman). Love you Morenikeji!
The gent in the blue top hat is Leon Russell, "the master of space and time". For the love of all that's sacred, PLEASE try a reaction to Leon Russell's, "Stranger In A Strange Land"! I promise you, the lyrics will leave you stunned and wiping your eyes! ❣️🌹🎼🎵🎸🎵🎶
i saw Joe Cocker perform this song in concert in 1969. He was pretty much unknown at the time and I certainly didn't know who he was. But he blew my mind for sure. :-)
This is from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour which I was fortunate to attend when they came to Denver in, if I remember correctly, 1970. It was exactly what you imagine, but better than that because it was live. What a night!
Beautiful reaction! Loved when your slightly puzzled reaction to Joe Cocker’s unique mannerisms broke into a big smile when he started to sing! Epic, almost spiritual performance!
I saw this concert movie. ( documentary) there is a wonderful part outside two girls fans were outside they couldn't get tickets but travelled a long way just hope to see him and listen from outside. He said hello taked them , and had someone find them and get them backstage passes.
This guy is a legend he played at Woodstock.
Please watch the whole "mad dogs and English men "album.

The Hippie Guitary player wearing top hat is LEON RUSSELL. The genius behind it all. WROTE songs like "Superstart" and "This Masquerade" among others.....he MADE Joe with this tour.
Incredible joe cocker creation even in the year 10000 people will praise this classic
Joe Cocker. One of a kind. Very empathetic to music. He would feel it course through his body. That voice! R.I.P. Joe.
Please never stop smiling. It is what keeps all of us coming back. So beautiful. Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you!💗💗💗
Many great songs; try to listen to “You are so beautiful” and “You can leave your hat on”
RIP Joe.
You have made a world a little better.
Thank you.
To see your unbridled joy throughout, listening to a song of my generation, was a pleasure to see.
Two legends on the same stage...Joe Cocker and Leon Russell.
The guitar player with the top hat is Leon Russell and one of the female backup singers is Rita Coolidge. Leon co-wrote and Rita was the first to record your favorite Carpenters song, "Superstar" How's that for some trivia?
Knew Leon Russell but had NO idea Rita was one of the backup singers, Joe is Legend but the backups take this to the next level also.
Jim Gordon on drums. A legend who played sessions (including Steely Dan) and live with the likes of Derek and the Dominoes, Delany and Bonnie, etc. etc. until mental illness took over and ... well, it's a sad, sad story.
@@gj8683 He was high school classmates with Tom Selleck and Micky Dolenz too.
@@feather031 Never knew that. Cool.
leon, the master of space and time. there are interview videos of rita talking about this tour that are interesting to watch.
I just also want to say that watching your channel , your reactions makes me feel great inside , like you angel face , beautiful smile and positive vibrations are a pleasure to watch. thanks for the entertainment and great songs Morenikeji !
Leon Russel in the top hat
Your eyes and smile are so joyful,they just light up the screen,all of your reactions are so heartfelt.I don't know how old you are but you are an old soul.
Thank you so much!🙏❤️
@@MorenikejiTaiwo I agree 100% You are just gorgeous and that smile
Its so hard to watch Joe Cocker performing with your beautiful face in the background...both are AMAZING !!
Some music legends on that stage. Leon Russell in the Top Hat…
I've always loved the top hat.
One of the greatest performance ever. Love her enthusiasm
Glad you like him, I was so lucky to see him in concert in the early 70's, in the San Francisco Bay area and it was as wild as you can imagine. The 70's where the best for music. And I must confess you are beautiful.

JOE COCKER, "A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS"... SUCH A GREAT SPIRITUAL PERFORMANCE... I STILL BELIEVE HE INVENTED THE AIR GUITAR..LOL
You‘ve chosen one of Joe‘s finest songs, young lady.
A master , and we lost a great one! Check out Leon Russell, with the hat in the background. Another great!
That’s what music was all about then. Nothing compares or even comes close to this era of music. I’m homered to have had experience this. Ze Mad Dog, Ze Englishman, Ze Joe Cocker.
You tell’m brother, I’m 80 and I glad I lived it,!
This is from "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" , Fillmore East 1970, a concert film/record he did with the legendary pianist/arranger/songwriter Leon Russell (The guy with the top hat). Russell put the whole show together, bringing fellow friends and great musicians together.
You should watch from the same concert Joe Cocker performing "The letter", and another Beatles cover "Something" which both are really impressive and emotional.
Joe Cocker doing it with a little help from his friends in backup vocals and on the drums - and of course, my favorite baby-girl's radiant smiles.
One of the most unique voices in music history.
Thank you, Mo! Good choice! Cocker forever!
Joe, one of the greatest of all time.
Baby girl you have the most beautiful smile. Wish you a wonderful day
You MUST watch "You Are So Beautiful" , the live version. He's wearing a black T-shirt. It near the end of his career. It is pure Joe, so heartfelt.
That man with the hat is Leon Russell. The 1960's music revolution would not have happened without Leon Russell. You are seeing the musical genius of a lot of people here.

Leon Russel was the band leader and he put this entire band together made up of some of the best session players in the world with very little time to do it.
Joe Cocker took us to church in this performance.
Beautiful reaction baby girl. I can see it moved you as it does me every time I hear it.
Another great cover by Joe is "The Letter". It is from the Box Tops back in 1967. Joe's version is from around 1970 I think. Both are worth a listen even if you don't post a reaction.
If you do a reaction, I prefer Joe's version over the Box Tops.
This is beyond singing.
You're listing to raw emotions being poured out.
Hi from Australia, I've seen Joe Cocker 4 times and every time he just got better after Jimmy barnes he's next on my list of favourites
One of Sheffield's finest, always sang from the heart. Thank you for your reaction, much appreciated.
Wow lovely, just lovely...and the songs not bad either....
One of my all-time favourite artists. I was 14 years old when I first heard this cover and it shaped my musical tastes forever. I love his cover of "Put your hat on". The thing that I liked the most is your reaction and appreciation for the music of my generation. Stay healthy and keep up your videos. You made me happy today. Thank you.
Leave your hat.
You can leave your hat on.
Thanks for the correction
There's a lot of us old guys in that boat.
Yet another British musician. The UK brought music to the world ...
You are absolutely charming baby girl.
Love seeing your reactions🎶🎵🎶
Baby girl" if you like moody blues, You must hear the song
(.QUESTIONS)
Love your joy of music :) Hard to believe I could actually like a Beatles song done by another, better! This was an awesome video. Joe Cocker was one of a kind.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge & Claudia Linnear on background vocals. You don't get much better than that. Joe Cocker had so many good songs in the course of his career.
Any idea who the woman was that had on the top hat at the start? That woman was singing with her whole soul!
This is why they call 60’s, 70’s and 80’s rock classic rock. Glad I was around in those days. Totally amazing!
Great reaction to this fantastic performance by the one and only Joe Cocker! I get soooo excited every time I see and hear this song by him.
Great song! Great performance!! BEST REACTION EVER!!! Mo, you are a delight to watch!
I hear Joe Cocker. I got to press like. It's not music. It's an experience.
He also does "You are so Beautiful to Me" The pure joy in your reaction and your smile was magic to behold. Thank you!
She already reacted to that song from Joe Cocker last month.
@@straycatttt thank you!🙏
Hi Mo 👋 - love your reaction. Your face lit up! - awesome performance of a great song. Keep them coming Mo! - stay safe please
Thank you so much!💗
This song Is of the Beatles. No more words
Joe Cocker was the best there ever was at taking a “little ditty” and turning it into an anthem for the ages!
Forgot to mention how lovely the girls were, holding hands and singing their all, touched my heart deep inside.. Beautiful..
One hell of a band behind him.😎
This was an anthem of a generation.
Joe Cocker, Leon Russel and a whole bunch of famous musicians got together to form this "mad dogs and englishman" concert/movie.
That was the best cover of any song ever ... yes it finishes with 2 drum kits and back up singers doing their thing :):)

Rest in Peace. ❤🕊🙏
If musical autism exists I'm sure Joe Cocker has it, he puts his whole body into the song like some sort of saintly singing savant leaving the audience with no other option but to be in awe. Loved the reaction :)
They say it affected his health his blood pressure and caused his death eventually
@@shanenolan8252 He died of lung cancer at 70.

a great song and artist
Epic 🇸🇪
You looked amazed when he sang. Stay safe from Covid-19 to you and all in your household. Thanks for another good video.
Thank you so much.🙏🥰
I am always amazed that someone could listen to the Beatles version (which I love) and go "hey, how about we do it like this?"

Lady, your smile is so awesome too.
This is THE song of my Mother and Fathers generation. Great reaction Morenikeji. Take care.

There are two artists that can bring a ear to my eye. Joe singing this song & Pavarotti singing ''Nessun Dorma''.
Joe Cocker put his whole body into every note. Nobody like him may he rest in peace. I see you already reacted to "You Are So Beautiful." Other great songs of his: "Feelin' Alright" and his duet with Jennifer Warnes "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong" (theme song from the early 1980s movie "An Officer and a Gentleman).

My favorite musican.Grew up on this music. He puts his soul into his singing. Bluesy.
Mr Joe Cocker, top 5 live shows I have attended. RIP
The joy and emotion you displayed during this review was truly something to behold. Such a beautiful song. Thank you for doing this!
Great Artist, Great song, Great reaction! Thank you

He did a great show, even as an old timer👍
He has around 6 all time classic songs from 60s to 80s . Must listen. And lots of other good ones
I love your reactions also God has blessed you with so much beauty!!!
It does my old heart a world of good seeing you get the same joy out of this that i did over 50 years ago. Good music is some powerful stuff !
Beautiful reaction! Loved when your slightly puzzled reaction to Joe Cocker’s unique mannerisms broke into a big smile when he started to sing! Epic, almost spiritual performance!
You are a breath of fresh air, welcome to the real world of music.
Rita Coolidge and Claudia Linner? I think on background vocals! Leon Russel guitar and musical director
I saw this concert movie. ( documentary) there is a wonderful part outside two girls fans were outside they couldn't get tickets but travelled a long way just hope to see him and listen from outside. He said hello taked them , and had someone find them and get them backstage passes.
